Thread Subject:

movable/draggable line

Is there a simple way to create a draggable line (horizontal) and trigger a callback function when the line is moved? I tried imline(), but I was unable to prevent the users from moving the end points so that the line is slanted, nor the setPosition in the callback function does anything to move the line. Any suggestions? I also tried dualcursor in file central, but since my axes is in a panel, it breaks a lot of the functions inside.

Thanks in advance.

Hoi,
Try this:

>> p = imline;
>> setPositionConstraintFcn(p,@(pos) [pos(:,1) repmat(mean(pos(:,2)),2,1)])

Cheers,
Brett

Thanks!! The documentation for imline and imroi needs a little bit more examples. I initially thought I need to set the position inside the function. :)
